---------------------------------------
+1 the patch looks good, though the fetchoutputs() needs refactoring urgently.

> The getCopyResult call in ReduceTask::fetchOutputs waits for 2 seconds if the results
list is empty. This can be improved to wait only when sufficient number of fetches (above
a certain threshold) have been scheduled. The threshold should ensure that all the fetcher
threads would be busy enough, and in this case, the call to getCopyResult would return only
when a fetcher thread wakes it up.
